Everton concede defeat to Man Utd for Crewe's Powell

The Guardian says Moyes had hoped Powell's desire for regular first-team football would tempt the midfielder to Goodison Park.

However, the England Under-18 international remains keen on joining Sir Alex Ferguson at Old Trafford. He would be United's second midfield signing of the close season after they agreed a £17m deal with Borussia Dortmund for the Japan international Shinji Kagawa.
